Physical Chemistry Community

The physical chemistry community is working on the living textbook, Quantum States of Atoms and Molecules, on homework and quiz questions to accompany the online textbook, and on documents that use symbolic mathematics engines to teach physical chemistry concepts (SymMath).

ChemEd DL Communities

Community: a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, goals, and interests

ChemEd DL communities share the common interest of chemistry, the common goal of teaching or learning the chemical sciences, and the common attitude that chemistry is important to society.

ChemEd DL's collection of communities cross-cut the many areas of interest in the chemical sciences. If there is an area of chemistry in which you are interested and that is not represented in the current collections of communities, please contact us and we will work with you to develop such a community.

ChemEd DL communities perform the following activities:

Collect

ChemEd DL communities collect exemplary resources and tools that will help them carry out their mission.

Assess

ChemEd DL communities continually assess their respective collections of resources to ensure that they meet the needs of their constituents.

Classify

ChemEd DL communities assign a subset of the ChemEd DL keywords to resources that classify them by subject, educational level, and intended audience to facilitate searching and retrieval.

Develop

ChemEd DL communities may develop additional resources and tools or combine existing resources in order to fill any voids in their existing collection.

Collaborate

ChemEd DL communities collaborate with one another through tools such as ChemEd Collaborative, ChemEd Courses, and ChemEd Castings.

Govern

ChemEd communities formulate their rules of governance based on those that govern the entire ChemEd DL. Communities are led by a curator and a team of dedicated volunteers.
